HUGE good news! While there is still a lot going on and everything, I just wanted to share with you all that Jonas has been seizure free for 1 month!!! 30 WHOLE DAYS without seizures! We are still tweaking meds and coming off some (and hopefully more...), but we have been so thrilled and THANKFUL for these recent seizure free days!

Also, Jonas is no longer on the keto diet. We think it may have been helping slightly, but we discontinued after 4 months. The pros (that were minimal at best) did not outweigh the terrible cons of the diet. Doing the keto diet with Jonas was one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life, so major kudos to those that do it long term. I would have loved for it to have worked and happily stuck with it, but it wasn't giving us the benefits we'd so hoped for.

But, again, the wonderful, fantastic, amazing news is that his newest medication (#7 I believe) is helping! We just pray none of the scary side effects come upon Jonas!

A few years ago (yeah, more like a lot of years ago) I took a trip to Hawaii with my friend Lisa. I've been itching to FINALLY do something with the fun photos we took on that trip. I decided that the blush mini album and tropical theme cards would help me get the photos off my computer and in an album to be enjoyed. Here are a couple pages from the album.

Here's the page I did documenting the Strides for Epilepsy 5k (supporting the CO chapter of the Epilepsy Foundation). It was my first 5k and we walked the whole thing, with 6 kids under age 6 in our group you'll have that. So happy and grateful to my friends and family that joined us!

I used the new Happiness Is Stampin Up! Project Life kit. I super love that kit and the colors were perfect for this event. No new or Earth-shattering ideas here, just 4x6 photos, 3x4 photos and photo collages. Remember "simple = done".

Oh yeah, I also included a 5x7 page with our group shot, I just printed one of the 4x6 cards to fit the 5x7 page and stuck the photo to the card. Enjoy!
